So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 running a CM11 Android 4.4.4 Nightly, and I got errors while attempting to install the Gapps package.
And, I didn't even want Gapps! I only wanted Play Store, like many of you reading this. So, this was what I did.
1) Download the zip file below. All of the apk files were taken from the latest PA-Gapps package for 4.4.4 .
2)Extract the files to your device, put them on some folder.
3)Use a root explorer (like CM File Manager, which comes with CyanogenMod), and copy the 4 apk files to /system/priv-app
4)Now set the permissions. (You can do it via the terminal, set the permissions to 644, but this is easier). All files must be set like this.

5)Finally, reboot. Open Play Store. Ta-da

Doesn't work for me. For some reason, I haven't been able to flash ANY Gapps.
That's weird

Ready to do some Friday afternoon tinkering? How does the new Gmail 4.2 sound? New Gmail is v4.2, which includes pinch-to-zoom in emails along with a new swipe-to-delete/archive feature. They may sound like small improvements, but they are all things that you will quickly realize that you can no longer live without.
So in order to use this, you have to have root, because you are going to be moving around some system level files. You can try to do this all in adb, but I am still not even sure that that is possible. If you are brave enough to dive into this, let’s do it. It should take all of 5 minutes.
DOWNLOADS : GMAIL2.APK [MIRROR]
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the Gmail2.apk from above and place it on your internal storage.
2. Create a nandroid backup, just to be safe.
3. Once your phone has rebooted, delete or move any Gmail.apk on your device.
*You’ll need to look in /system/app for Gmail.apk and /data/app for com.google.android.gm-1.apk.
4. Once moved/deleted, you should reboot your phone.
5. Once rebooted, you can try simply installing Gmail2.apk on your phone.
6. If that doesn’t work, put the file in your SDK/Platform-Tools folder and type this in adb:
adb install Gmail2.apk
7. You should now have the new Gmail 4.2 up and running.
*Note – Depending on the ROM, there may be Gmail .odex files that will need to be deleted as well.
Confirm to work like a charm on my gtp6800

a flashable zip using cwm/twrp... whoever that just root the device and dont have cwm/twrp can just unzip the files and copy to system/app folder and make sure the permission are rw-r--r--
can be use by odex/deodex system. odex system need to manually delete the .odex files first
btw. i only test it at 4.2.2 Note 8.0 3G version since that's the Os that i'm running now. and definitely touchwiz a must.

yes,and it is an updated version..the apk from the store isn't updated and isn't integreted with the OS..if you install only the apk from the store you lose some feature like shutdown the phone via cortana or reboot the phone,make a call or answer a call
